Baby Smith + Citrus & Palma Louca

Ray Sonder and Saxon Gable grew up in sleepy beach towns on Australia’s east coast. Their parents were hippies and rockers. They were spoon fed Nirvana and The Beatles on the car stereo whether they liked it or not. Both self taught musicians, they began writing songs from an early age, evoking the quiet beaches of Byron Bay and the wild Gondwana Rainforest that were their back yards.

Thematically, the album wrestles with the human experience at close range: love and loss, self-doubt and self-loathing, fractured relationships, substance abuse within inner circles, and a simmering disillusionment with modern life and the digital status quo. What began without a fixed concept gradually revealed itself as a portrait of a specific, volatile period in their lives.

Baby Smith have had a busy start to the project which has seen the duo sell out their debut London, Berlin and Dublin headlines, play across eight countries, and support King Hannah, Sarah Klang, Cousin Kula and Lo Moon. Baby Smith are set to hit the road again in 2026 with a UK & EU tour in support of “Lately, Love Is Dead”, which is set for release July 10th.
